Logos

I have designed logos for many of our clients, here are a few. Some logos reflect the product of the company, others are just unique designs. Along with the logo I usually design their stationary - letterheads, business cards and envelope.

Instruction Sheets

Many projects, and all of Loreals, require an instruction sheet. They are created for either the purchaser or for an assembly company charged with assembling the package and placing the products. Some clients require them to have detailed written instruction and illustrations and other only want illustrations. We can provide either type for packages and products we design or for those submitted by a client. The two instruction sheets shown above are for packages we designed for Loreal.

Product Design and Model Making

From a design sent by a client, we created a mechanical drawing for manufacturing and a model for the client to present. The model was made from an existing clear globe, cut and adjusted to meet the design criteria. Included was a well for the product (a jar) and a holder for graphic panel. The overall effect is that of a product floating.

Hillman Ready Readers

Hillman Ready Readers are pre-packed in different size trays. The design is a clean modern display reflecting the product. Designed to use wood finish shelves and a black square metal frame.

Evolution of a Package Design

Project name: Loreal Hi Golds Store Kit.
Products; 6 hair color cartons, 1 swatch book.
Client directions; Create a folding carton with a full sized window on front showing the swatch book. Marketing wants the front window to show as much of the swatch book as possible.

The first step is to plan the arrangement of the products, positioning them as the client requested and using the least material. Once the arrangement and the structure has been sketched out, the sample is created. The package is drawn, full size, on cardboard, cut out, scored, folded and glued. The sample is then sent to the client for approval. Once approved, a die line/mechanical is made. This is used to create the mechanical art and is also sent to the die maker. This ensures that the mechanical and the die cutting will match exactly.
When the art has been completed an H-P Digital print is made. The print is mounted to cardboard, cut out, scored, folded and glued to make a sample. This is sent to the client for final approval. With the final approval, the design is printed onto cardboard. The sheets are die cut, the carton blanks are run through a gluing machine, packed and shipped.

Alair Display

Designs for their line of injection molded stock display shelves, also, logo, advertising and brochures.

Skelaxin and Neo-Clip

Skelaxin sample dispenser for doctors offices. Single sample removal, spring pushed and refillable were the requirements.
Neo-Clip premium pen and note pad with a giant sized (removable) replica of the product. Also, a “Bracket Management System” for the Neo-Clip boxes and tool tray for a dentists office. The storage sections are stackable and wall mountable.
